About News and Views
You do realize that Hulu House went out of business a few weeks ago! There is a new vegetarian restaurant in the same space, but the food is different.
The dinner is still on! The Restaurant is now called Enoy Vegetarian Restaurant (formerly Hulu
House). They changed ownership and name but it is at the same address as Hulu House but different chefs and menu.
I was a huge fan of Hulu House (at least a once every few weeks worth). I thought they were just remodeling but to my surprise and dismay, found it had not only changed ownership and menu, but the food quality went downhill from wonderful vegan southeast asian cuisine, to mediocre chinese vegetarian. I'm sad.
